Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown revealed a huge priority ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
While it's easy to link a team to a player, the actual strategy for the front office is usually much different. It's not always about acquiring the most talented player that's available on the market.
Despite the needs and some players available that could fit the immediate needs perfectly, Houston has a strategy in mind.for the team with any trade deadline move they make. He wants to find players that will be a part of the future with "several years of control" left in their contract. Among those targets on expiring deals are Pete Alonso, Christian Walker, and Paul Goldschmidt. After this news, it's very likely that none of those three players are legitimate trade targets.However, what it does mean is that Houston may be willing to pay bigger prices to acquire players under control for years to come. Expiring players are much cheaper to acquire.
